As any allergist knows, there is risk in treating asthma and allergy sufferers. Asthma can be difficult to manage, and with allergy patients, there is the risk of triggering allergic reactions during an allergy shot appointment. Both asthma and allergy patients may be treated with steroids, a common medication associated with malpractice litigation.
Indigo helps allergy specialists manage their risk. You’ll have complimentary access to a 3rd party helpline for confidential advice about reducing allergy-related allegations and liability claims.

No federal law requires endocrinologists to carry medical malpractice insurance, but chances are, you’re still required to have it. Some states require minimum levels of insurance. Hospitals may require endocrinologists with visiting privileges to have insurance.
Health insurance plans may require some level of coverage for participating endocrinologists. It’s also a practical requirement to protect your practice.
Most medical malpractice policies are claims-made. Claims-made policies are popular because they tend to have lower initial premiums than occurrence coverage. If you’re concerned about claims that arise after the policy expires, you can buy an extended reporting period endorsement (commonly known as “tail coverage”).
Indigo provides coverage for physicians across the United States. However, since insurance is regulated on the state level, coverage may not be available in all states.
